Cocamidopropyl betaine is a must for me.

Ah, yes, it is much better now!

Any plans for upgrading to cheese grater Mac Pro 2019? :)

As a C++ (including modern) developer for more than 20 years, I had written a "template" keyword only for a handful of times. Maybe once in every 5 years on average... :) Unless yo…

Miranda had it since its release in 1985.

We often forget that our profession (computer programming) belongs to STEM. Some (like Go 1.0 :)) wish to think it is Arts & Humanities. The sooner we realize that yes, it is OK an…

TASM.

What most miss today is DX - Developer Experience, many (most?) devs don't want to become Prompt Engineers. Another thing is that not many can afford Fable or similar and I don't t…

Business deal means the requirements should be rational, pragmatic.

Permanent residency is a business deal between two entities: an individual and a state. It has nothing to do with linguistics. There are many Germans permanently living in Vietnam,…

The valuable prose aside, I never liked that code examples were in a pseudo assembly language.

That reminded me of how fast/instant Winamp loads the huge directory (recursively), while other players struggle. Scrolling reveals that files are being loaded lazily (obviously), …

Yes, remote and part-time. Shopping on Monday afternoons is enjoyable.

It's a HN bubble :)

Isn't it mostly shaders programming nowadays?
